PHP - Persistent Mysql Database Connection
I was wondering what the users at phpfreaks recommend as far as persistent database connections. Is it better to save the connection, or to open up a new connection for each page?
Also, how would you have a persistent connection? Similar TutorialsHi, I'm building a flash environment for a small scale MMO game, and I need to employ the use of sockets so that users can interact with each other in real time (chat, battle, exploring, etc). I've done quite a bit of Googling, and haven't turned up much useful information. Maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing? Anyway, I have my own server, running Fedora 9 and Apache 2.0. I want to create a PHP "socket server" that runs almost as a process on my server, so that users can connect to it and pass data between each other instantly. I've looked through PHP's manual on the socket functions, and I'm fairly confident that I will be able to work with them just fine as soon as I actually have the socket server working.. So my question is, how exactly would I go about starting this process? I'm messing around on the command line right now and can't seem to get it to work? Thanks, nethnet Hello guys. Trying to connect php with mysql database and then display results on the screen. This is my code: Code: [Select] <?php $dbhost = "localhost"; $dbuser = "username1"; $dbpass = "password1"; $db = "username1_myDB"; $connection = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die ("Could not connect"); mysql_select_db($connection, $db); $show = "SELECT Name, Description FROM people"; $result = mysql_query($show); while($show = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ $field01 = $show[Name]; $field02 = $show[Description]; echo "id: $field01<br>"; echo "description: $field02<p>"; } ?> However im getting this: Warning: mysql_select_db() expects parameter 1 to be string, resource given in /home/pain33/public_html/index.php on line 20 Warning: mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/pain33/public_html/index.php on line 26 Any ideas how to fix this? Thank you. Hi there, I am having a bit of trouble understanding what I am doing, basically all I want at the moment is to be able to make a very basic introductory guide for myself on my own Database class implementation. I know there are some around on the web but I thought for my own education I would create one of my own, just to see if I can fully understand what it is I am doing. It won't at this present moment involve anything more than a standard class, with 3 properties: protected $_connect This will be the basis for mysql_connect stuff. protected $_query As you probably would have guessed the basis for the mysql_query strings this application will do. protected $_error Then finally any errors that occur will go through this function, right thats the properties done for now (please feel free to add any should you feel I should need them though, why I am asking for your help ). Right here is my code, it is all on the same file, say class.db.php or something simple, just to see how I can get this working firstly, then I will segregate (or more split the new Db class into its own file), then have my actual form generation going from another class file and then do a real implement of the whole thing. Again this is only for my own education, nothing else! Here is my class file for the database: class Db { protected $_connect; // dont allow credentials in here yet! protected $_query; // holds the query info? protected $_error; // raises an error message when needed! public function __construct($host,$username,$password) { $this->_connect = mysql_connect($host,$username,$password); } } $newDatabase = new Db("localhost","dbuser","password"); echo "<pre>"; print_r($newDatabase); echo "</pre>"; What it's bringing up though is along the lines of this: Quote Db Object ( [_connect:protected] => Resource id #2 [_query:protected] => [_error:protected] => ) Is there any obvious error I am doing to not allowing the properties to fill up or something? I cant seem to get this working, again any helps appreciated, Jeremy. Is there an alert method for the MySQL database or something similar?
What is the proper way to check if the MySQL database connection is working?
I mean other than "creating" and "retrieving" with "insert" and "select".
after cloasing connection of database i still got the values form database. Code: [Select] <?php session_start(); /* * To change this template, choose Tools | Templates * and open the template in the editor. */ require_once '../database/db_connecting.php'; $dbname="sahansevena";//set database name $con= setConnections();//make connections use implemented methode in db_connectiong.php mysql_select_db($dbname, $con); //update the time and date of the admin table $update_time="update admin set last_logged_date =CURDATE(), last_log_time=CURTIME() where username='$uname'limit 3,4"; //my admin table contain 5 colums they are id, username,password, last_logged_date, last_log_time $link= mysql_query($update_time); // mysql_select_db($dbname, $link); //$con=mysql_connect('localhost', 'root','ijts'); $result="select * from admin where username='a'"; $result=mysql_query($result); mysql_close($con); //here i just check after closing data baseconnection whether i do get reselts but i do, why? echo "after the cnnection was closed"; if(!$result){ echo "cont fetch data"; }else{ $row= mysql_fetch_array($result); echo "id".$row[0]."usrname".$row[1]."passwped".$row[2]."date".$row[3]."time".$row[4]; } // echo "<html>"; //echo "<table border='1' cellspacing='1' cellpadding='2' align='center'>"; // echo "<thead>"; // echo"<tr>"; // echo "<th>"; // echo ID; // echo"</th>"; // echo" <th>";echo Username; echo"</th>"; // echo"<th>";echo Password; echo"</th>"; // echo"<th>";echo Last_logged_date; echo "</th>"; // echo "<th>";echo Last_logged_time; echo "</th>"; // echo" </tr>"; // echo" </thead>"; // echo" <tbody>"; //while($row= mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_BOTH)){ // echo "<tr>"; // echo "<td>"; // echo $row[0]; // echo "</td>"; // echo "<td>"; // echo $row[1]; // echo "</td>"; // echo "<td>"; // echo $row[2]; // echo "</td>"; // echo "<td>"; // echo $row[3]; // echo "</td>"; // echo "<td>"; // echo $row[4]; // echo "</td>"; // echo "</tr>"; // } // echo" </tbody>"; // echo "</table>"; // echo "</html>"; session_destroy(); session_commit(); echo "session and database are closed but i still get values from doatabase session is destroyed".$_SESSION['admin']; ?> session is destroyed but database connection is not closed. thanks On some occasions I need to connect to a second and third database in the same script (maybe 5% of scripts have at least a second connection). Usually I would just select the new database. However, my host requires different users to be created for each database. What is the best way to do this? Close current connection (say db1) and open new (say db2) OR keep all open, creating 2nd and 3rd connections. I am happy with the design of my database, and don't want to merge all these tables into one db. Overall I am still happy with my host, so I'd rather not change. <?php class UserQuery { public function Adduser($id,$username,$email,$password) { $conn = new Config(); $sql =("INSERT INTO test.user (id, username, email, password) VALUES ('$id', '$username', '$email',$password)"); $conn->exec($sql); } }
getting an "exec doesnt exist " error, saying exec doesnt exist in my db file. it doesnt need to exist does it ? anyone any idea why ?
hey i need help im tryig to get information from my user and then process it in my database so i can use it to log them to a different web site im trying to use this method to get the information from the user but need help to get it please help me. Code: [Select] //make the database connection. $conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "Black Jack"); mysql_select_db("chaper7", $conn); //create a query $sql = "SELECT * FROM hero"; $result = mysql_query($sql, $conn); When you open a database connection, how long does it stay open for? I have a "Change E-mail Address" script that has 4 queries in it, and I just realized that I don't create a DB Connection until Query #2 in my script, yet things work fine?! Is it possible that the DB Connection was opened earlier by another script and it is just persisting?? Debbie Hi, I am currently trying to build an Artist's website, the artist wanted a CMS that was completely customized to the site (so no Wordpress, Joomla, Drupel, etc) - because of this I am having to create a CMS completely from scratch.
The problem I am having is with the database connection (hence the topic title), other sites that I have built with this same code work fine - however this particular site does not seem to want to play ball. It keeps giving me this error:
SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'web113-janesart'@'10.0.44.113' (using password: YES)I have tried obvious things such as spelling mistakes, wrong password/username/db name, nothing seems to get rid of this error. Any help on what else this could be would be appreciated. Dear friends i,m a php beginner and i got a problem with connecting to my database i created a database called (koora) with one table called (admins) and when i tried to connect to it (database ) ; it did not connect here is the code i used for that <?php $connectdb = mysql_connect('localhost','','') or die("not connected"); $selectdb = mysql_select_db("koora", $connectdb); if(!$selectdb) { die("error connecting table" .mysql_error()); } then when refreshing my phpmyadmin page i got that message error connecting tableAccess denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'koora' koora is the name of the database so i need your help with this problem and what is the reason not to connect to the data base Thank you Hi, For school, I need to build a site and this site has to have a few applications. One of the applications, I have to make is to make a script that makes it possible to upload a file and it has to put this file in a online database. Now, I'm just trying to put it in a local database. My code doesn't give an error, but it doesn't work either. The file doesn't get into the database. I can't figure out why. I hope you can help me? Thanks in advance! Lize The Script:
pdo_connect.php:
<?php $dsn = "mysql:host=localhost;dbname=2354"; $db = new PDO($dsn, "root", ""); ?>pdo_test.php:
<?php
try{
require_once("pdo_connect.php");
}catch(Exception $e){
$error = $e->getMessage();
}
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Database Connection with PDO</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Connection with PDO</h1>
<?php
if($db){
echo "<p>Connection successful.</p>";
}elseif(isset($error)){
echo "<p>$error</p>";
}
?>
</body>
</html>
I have just watched a tutorial and tried out this script. The issue is that I am getting the following notice alongside with the error message:
Notice: Undefined variable: db in C:\xampp\htdocs\oophp\pdo_test.php on line 18 SQLSTATE[HY000] [1049] Unknown database '2354'By the way this notice does happen in the tutorial as well. My question is: How to have this in ways, where the notice does not occur? I'm connecting to my database using the following... @ $db = new mysqli('host', 'username', 'password', 'database') The .php file that is connecting to the database is in my root (htdocs) folder on the server. I know that I am not supposed to put my actual 'host', 'username', 'password', 'database' inside the mysqli function for security purposes. I know that I am supposed to put variables in instead. But here is where I am confused. Where do I set those variables? Do I set them in another file and include that file? If so, where do I store the file that holds the passwords, and what prevents a hacker from simply navigating to that file? Thanks for the help how do I use a connection file (connection.php) in multiple programs? I think include? Through out my program I have used global $mysqli; as a connection to my database - this has worked fine so far. Now I have called $sql_statement = "SELECT * FROM items WHERE name='$itemName'"; $itemStats = mysqli_fetch_array(mysqli_query($mysqli, $sql_statement), MYSQLI_ASSOC); via a function and I get the following warnings - Quote Warning: mysqli_query() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli, null given in /functions/getdata.php on line 27 Warning: mysqli_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, null given in /functions/getdata.php on line 27 it still works though and returns the correct information. If I take the code out of the function and use it normally then I get no Warnings - but this defeats the whole purpose of having functions! How do I get rid of the warnings? (and no, I don't mean turn the warnings off ) Hi guys, Hey,
I'm really new to PHP and having some difficulties with $_SESSION and getting userid from the database. I've managed to put content to my database and also a login script. Though, adding sessions has been a pain. Here's what I got so far:
$sql = "SELECT username, password FROM users WHERE username = '$username' and password = '$pas'";
$query_login = $db->prepare($sql);
$query_login->execute(array('userid' => $userid, 'username' => $username, 'password' => $pas));
$result = $query_login->rowcount();
if ($result>0)
{
session_start();
$_SESSION['username'] = $username;
$_SESSION['logged'] = 1;
$_SESSION['userid'] = $result['userid'];
header('Location: ../user/user.php');
}
